Sarah Friedland

Sarah Ema Friedland is a Jewish American documentary filmmaker, activist, and co-director of the award-winning sci-fi documentary 'Lyd' alongside Palestinian journalist Rami Younis. Raised in a Reform Jewish household, Friedland's work examines the 1948 Nakba and its ongoing impact, challenging narratives of Israeli apartheid and occupation. 'Lyd' blends historical documentation with speculative fiction to highlight the continuous tragedy of the Nakba and advocate for a future of collective liberation in Palestine. Friedland's partnership with Younis reflects her commitment to amplifying Palestinian voices and addressing systemic injustice.
